Police were called to the Frye Hotel on Yesler Way just before 1 p.m. on reports of a fight and an armed man in the apartment building.

Officers took the elevator to the fourth floor, where they heard yelling and saw blood covering the floor and walls, police reports say. They followed a trail of blood to the stairs and went down to the third floor.

Police found a shirtless man covered in blood who resisted orders to get on the ground. Officers believed he was high on some type of narcotic and smelled of alcohol, according to the police narrative.

Apartment staff produced a crow bar they said the bloodied man used in a fight. Police handcuffed the man for safety reasons.

Officers interviewed a fourth floor resident of the building who said the shirtless man kicked on his door. His door frame was broken in several places. When he opened the door, he asked for $5. When the resident refused to give him money, the man demanded crack. The resident said he didn’t sell crack and told the man to leave, reports say.

The man forced his way into the apartment and fought with the resident, according to police reports. The attacker produced a crowbar and the two men began to fight for control over it. The resident grabbed the crowbar and struck the intruder with it several times, reports say.

He then gave the crowbar back to the shirtless man and told him to leave.

Police arrested the shirtless man, who threatened to kill his neighbor after he was taken to King County Jail.
